How to Recover Your Lost Unlock Code for MapSource

Some Garmin mapping programs require an unlock code to access the maps on your GPS device. If you've lost the unlock code for your MapSource, you can still retrieve it by following a few steps. First, connect your Garmin device to your computer. Once it's connected, open MapSource and look for the option to manage map products. If you don't see "Manage Map Products" in the Utilities drop-down menu, you might need to check if your version of MapSource supports this feature. If you're unlocking the maps for the first time, click on the 'Unlock Online' button. You’ll need to enter the serial number of your GPS device and the product key, which you can typically find on the back of the disc case or in the manual. After entering this information, click the 'Unlock Maps' button, and it should generate an unlock code for you. If your maps were previously unlocked, you can retrieve the unlock information by connecting your device again, entering the serial number, and clicking the 'Retrieve Unlocks' button. This should restore your access to the maps without needing to re-enter the unlock code.
